Kim Ji Hyun, a former member of 90’s idol group RooRa, shares about her painful experience with plastic surgery.

On March 4, Kim Ji Hyun made a guest appearance on KBS’s talk show “YeoYooManMan” where she revealed, “I was scared that I might die on the first, second and even the third night after receiving jaw reduction surgery.”

She continued, “I was constantly taking pain relievers after the surgery so I didn’t feel much pain. I asked the doctor before during consultation if it hurt. He replied that the pain is about ten times more than fatigue from a cold.”

Kim Ji Hyun further added, “My nose was clogged for two weeks and it bled. However, I was fortunate that my mouth wasn’t bandaged up so I was able to talk and eat. But, I couldn’t lie down and had to sit in a sitting position. I slept upright with cushions on my back. Whether I ate or slept, I was sitting the whole time during recovery.”

She also mentioned in the program, “After the surgery, other celebrities didn’t recognize me when I pass by. Lately, I would go up to them first and introduce myself ‘I’m Kim Ji Hyun.’”

Her jaw looks good though! Although a small jaw with high cheekbones isn't really my thing haha.

I worry about this, but from more and more people recently I'm hearing that medication and proper care makes the recovery process fairly easy. Not that it won't hurt, but I haven't heard anyone say that they felt like they were dying. Maybe it's because she got double-jaw surgery...?

It sucks that it was that bad, I really hope my surgery doesn't feel like that! But it's good that she's talking about it, I don't think there is enough open discussion of plastic surgery even though it is so popular in Korean society. At least, not discussion by celebrities. I guess if people aren't recognizing her then the cat's already out of the bag though . . .

Well, I mean, if she had double jaw surgery they broke her jaw in two places before cutting a good section of bone out and reattaching the severed portion of her remaining jaw with pins so..... yes I'm sure it was painful.
